Hi Ton,
Thanks for your answer.
I wanted to avoid to duplicate the creation of the same commodity contract.
I wanted to calculate e.g. Tbond/DJIA relationship, and since the Tbond is
in my Interest Rate directory and the DJIA is in my Index directory I could
not compare them.
At this moment I did not want the run any Test or Exploration, just put in
on the chart for visual reference.
Because the commodity contracts change almost every month it is not useful
to create them and update in different directories. (I might try to do it
with the continuos contracts.) If you have any organizational suggestions I
will be happy to try it.
Another question.
I have DM/$ how can I create $/DM prices for all for parameters (OHLC).
I tried to put it in a formula 1/C; 1/h etc. but it creates four separate
lines and can't use it with indicators that uses any two of them together.
In the composite I tried to use 1/contract, but the composite does need two
separate contracts to create a data list.
Any advice.
Thanks
***** Erika ***** :-)

Like the Downloader produces sub-directories in the common-directory
(DL60-manual p.36) when it converts data.
Some programs are able to work with sub-folders as if they are one
with the common-directory.
DL60 p.43-Create New Folder Button:
-the common-folder is supposed NOT to contain data, otherwise it is
a "nested" data-folder in a data-folder.
This is why I only suggested it, I cannot say it will work as I did not
have to do it as yet.
I don't keep composites in my main data folders, the MS-Explorer will
come up with errors (MS60-manual p.339) or not too reliable reports if
it comes across a composite(a composite is nothing more than a link
between two securities(DL60 p.36 upto 41)) in the folder to be explored,
and it will be ignored.
If you want to do a RS-comparissing between an index and your securities
for performance, then keep the index in the "same" folder, run the explorer
do a performance-scan(MS60 p.339). Then in the report-window with the
sort-button you can "automatically" rank your securities and see wich one
performed better than the other(remember that it is NOT a buy-signal, by
itself).
Regards Ton.
